Great. That’s great. You know what, I was in Toronto for the game where Dave Winfield killed a seagull. Remember that one?

That poor cat.

Should’ve sung “Take me out to the ballgame” instead.

I wasn’t at it but yes it was one of those weird moments. Being a Yankee fan that would make sense you were there for that one. He had a painting commissioned commemorating that and it hung in a bar (long since gone now) in downtown Toronto and I went to that bar a lot. No Idea where the painting is now.

May the best team win? Nonsense—I want my team to win.

Bottom of the eighth, top of the order. Giant ahead, 3-2. The stage is set for some drama, perhaps.

Indeed but while there are exceptions for the most part the best team usually does win. Post season is supposed to be a crucible which tests the best teams to rise to the occasion.

Crikey, could Bumgarner finish this thing?

I have no dog in this game but whenever I pick a team I get emotional. I have to turn off the radio, take a shower and go out for a brew and dinner. Tomorrow is another day—the favorite line of the Wall Street Journal. They are right, leave it at your front door and live to see another day.

Maybe we are due for another walk off homer. 1960 and 1993 are the only two.

That would be nailing down MVP honours with a flourish.

Crucible? A container of metal or refractory material employed for heating substances to high temperatures. Very well, not exactly appropriate.

Well, if the Royals are to win, it will have to be a walk-off something.

yes There was a balk that ended a game this year I think. You never know. That said Bumgarner looks untouchable for the moment.

Bottom of the ninth, seventh game of the World Series, Royals down by 1. Here we go!

Royals go (fairly) quietly into that good night.

What can you even say, absolutely no debate about the MVP.
